Description
Turner syndrome is a variation in which a person is born with a 45X chromosome pattern (sometimes called 45XO) rather than the typical 46XX. People with Turner syndrome often share specific physical features such as short stature, a webbed neck and broad chest, and heart issues. They can also develop variations in their other sex characteristics, such as smaller-than-typical ovaries that may stop producing hormones at a younger age than typical, and they might not menstruate or experience pubertal changes.
